Icecold's mobility thread

I get a burning sensation in my tibialis anterior muscles when rowing, I think people refer to this as shin splints?

Any tips on what to do other than foam rolling them?
 
Your shins? Try getting a ball on to the side of the leg (both sides) and get in to that soft bit on the outside. Might also be worth working your feet?
 
It's the outer shin muscles. Pretty tricky to get a ball in there? It's just about manageable using the roller.

Working my feet in what way?
 
A hockey ball will get in the outer shin if its where I think youre saying.

Roll the bottomnof your feet with a ball
 
If I lift my left are in a lateral raise motion after 90 degrees one of my tendons or something feels like it's moving over something else and makes a slight noise. There's no pain, is this anything to be worried about?

Tightness.

Kill it with a hockey ball/roller.
 
Looking to get a foam roller. I'm still relatively new to SL and my whole body is always sore after a gym session. I'm still pretty weak and don't have much muscle mass as of yet. The rumble one looks like it'd kill me at the mo, so should I just go for this one?

EPP

Do I use this before and after workouts and do I use it the next day when the soreness kicks in?

Stupid question, but do I just roll on it like I'm trying to massage my leg/back muscles?
 
Either the EPP one or the GRID

You can use it before a workout, just bare in mind doing too much soft tissue work before a workout can be counter productive effectively, by all means use it to loosen up. After is a good shout as well if you get time, otherwise smash yourself in the evening.

Just use it basically, you won't thank us either ;) The rumble roller will be needed one day, especially for your back, but see how you get on first before forking out too much
 
That's entirely up to you or not buddy. Depends whether or not you need it at the gym. If you get time after your workout it may be a good idea to roll around for a bit. Otherwise do it at home.
 
I'd suggest you have more of a read of the thread.

Rollers will not get rid of DOMS (soreness).

Soft tissue work can be used as part of a warm up for tight or vulnerable muscles, but to actually improve tissue quality you will want to perform it as far away from exercise as possible.
